00:00And then building off Dan's question, voters did approve a clause in the state constitution that prohibits redistricting on the basis that benefits a particular party, a particular candidate. Should that stay or should that go?
00:18We'll be having those conversations about the exact wording, but I think if you ask voters in New York how they feel today versus how they felt back then, there has been a dramatic sea change in response to
00:29the onslaught of attacks from their own government in Washington, and they've had it. As I said, they've had it with the chaos, they've had it with the cuts, and they want us as their leaders to stand up for them, and that's exactly what we're going to do.
00:44Governor, why would it be unfair to say that New York Democrats are abandoning good government and good democracy in an effort to save democracy?
00:54Well, that's an interesting question, but if that's what's called for, if that's what's called for, I will put saving democracy as my top priority, at any cost, because it is under siege.
01:05Just like those who put on a uniform to fight in battles across the ages. For centuries, we've stood up and fought. Blood has been shed.
01:15This is our moment in 2025, to stand up for all that we hold dear, and not let it be destroyed by a bunch of renegades in a place called Texas, which I respect these people.
01:26But we've had our battles with them, the Attorney General, the Senator. We know who we stand with. We stand with the people of this country.
